[Junnifer USA]

Out house is a shambles! Boxes and stuff everywhere! We are packing ourselves... and forgoing much of Christmas this year! Our 10-yr old is receiving a new bike... and that is about it for us..

Can you help :
We still have not located a decent bid from the east coast of the US (Savannah) to Christchurch - 20 ft container. We pack ourselves. Anybody have any leads on a trustworthy operation that would run a fair price. I would like to figure out where to inquire about container arrangements. Do I just go down to the Port of Savannah -- where do I ask.

The quotes we are receiveing have been very high --$7,000. and that is with us doig all the pack and load!

We were hoping to be out before Jan 30.
Merry Christmas!

I don't know how much this will help. I'm in Nebraska and I received this quote.

I don't know how reliable or reputable this company is. I think they're so low because they charge you for packing and matierals "upon use" and there are some fees (that I don't understand) that they don't account for.

I hope this helps, but hey at least I responded. :P
